Expressive Therapies

This unit will focus on the articulation of content and themes of the four disciplines and artistic exercises. The sessions, which will cover the specificity of artistic fields and their subsequent integration, divided into periods of theoretical and practical activities exposure if privileging this way the observation, analysis and experimentation based on the contents addressed.
The evaluation process will be continued, focusing on the following components and weights:
1. Practical activities – evaluation of individual student performance on tasks and activities proposed in class (50%);
2. Theoretical-practical conception, in groups, an exercise in integration of artistic expressions from an artistic reference proposed by teachers (50%).
